Here is another I just posted elsewhere in the 11x14 lens thread.

Two Redwoods, Cal-Barrel Road, 2001
Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park

Taken with a borrowed homemade 11x14 (under 7 pounds) and a 355mm G-Claron.

My triplet boys were 4.5 years old and around this age I would take them to the redwoods often, with the hope of getting at least one exposure in. I would find a image (in this case along a lonely lovely dirt road and zero traffic) where I could break out the camera, get lunch out for the three boys, and while they were occupied eating, I'd set up the camera and get the photo taken before the boys finished lunch and started to run between the legs of the tripod, or wander off and fall in a creek, or something.

It was great when they got a little older, became my 'figures in the landscape' and would hold still up to two minutes for photographs in the redwoods, then go exploring while I made more images. I kept it to one image a trip with the boys in the landscape to keep them excited to do it for me every time we went out.

There was wonderful light present for this image -- slightly diffuse but still direct light coming thru the trees. My Pentax meter read from 5 to 10, exposed at 7 . I used f/64 for 30 seconds on FP4+ rated at 100 (no extra time for reciprocity failure). Developed in Rollo Pyro.

Wonderful! 11x14 is impressive. I saw some of your 5x7 contact prints in the Arcata square a while back. They looked great. Old stomping grounds. Humboldt Grad in Forestry 1978-1984. Keep posting your redwood photos. Thanks!

We overlapped at HSU. I was a forestry major 1972 to 1974 then switched over to Natural Resources Mgt Fall of '74. I graduated two years early on a ten-year program (1981) ...took a lot of breaks to work in a wilderness, and took a lot of photo classes that did not count towards degree requirements.

Very first exposure made with my B&J Commercial view back around 1980. f/64 of course. Waist deep in a very cold stream.
